Four sidelined WRs return to practice

Six banged-up 49ers who missed practice Friday were back on the field for the start of this morning’s session. Those returning after Saturday’s day off: wide receivers A.J. Jenkins, Kyle Williams, Ricardo Lockette and Kassim Osgood and linebackers NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith.

Coincidence or not, the four previously sidelined wide receivers are back on the field two days after the 49ers signed Austin Collie and Lavelle Hawkins, who made their practice debut Friday. All 12 wide receivers on the active roster are practicing today.

Those not practicing include center Jonathan Goodwin, defensive tackle Justin Smith, linebacker Patrick Willis and left tackle Joe Staley, who participated in the first eight practices of training camp.

Left guard Mike Iupati is practicing after tweaking his left knee in Friday’s practice. Iupati briefly sat out before finishing practice. Cornerback Tarell Brown is also in action after missing the latter part of Friday’s practice.
